Written at a time when disasters both natural - drought, famine -
and manmade - the war in Yugoslavia, civil strike in South Africa -
fill our TV screens and newspapers, and when politicians are
arguing over how many refugees Britain should accept, this book
examines the way in which relief agencies and the media interact,
and illustrates many of the organizational, moral and political
problems facing them. Dr Benthall considers the different styles
and "marketing techniques" of the different agencies, with
particular attention paid to the power of television. There are
also accounts of two modern calamities: the Nigerian civil war of
the late 1960s and the Armenian earthquake of 1988.
